Its amazing how this time of year makes you remember what all and who all your are thankful for. When really, I should be remembering all year around how truly blessed I am and how I have so many things to be thankful for that I can not even begin counting them. Of course with the addition of Elem to our family, I am most thankful for him, and that he is healthy and happy. I am so thankful for Seth and the amazing relationship that we have. He is my best friend in the whole world, and I couldnt imagine having a better family than the one I have right now! I am also so happy that we were able to celebrate with both sides of mine and Seth's family for Elem's first Thanksgiving!
We began our Thanksgiving holiday on Thursday and went to Aunt Nancy's house for some good food and family loving! Elem's Grammy and Poppa were there, as well as lots of Aunts and Uncles, and even the Great Grammy and Pawpaw. We had a lot of fun and just spent a lot of time eating and watching football. Elem was in a great mood all day and pretty much just let people stare at him and hold him and kiss all over him all day. I am so glad that he is such a chilled baby, that he doesnt freak out when relatives who dont get to see him all that much, get around him. I didnt get any pics from then, because I was trying to video the great grandparents, but if someone sends me some Ill post em!
Then Friday, we took a family day, me seth and elem and just sent the day relaxing. I got a crazy hair and tried to go to Old Navy, but once I stood in line for 20 minutes just to return an outfit I had bought the week before, while holding my 20lb son, I decided to not fight the crowds and just lay on my couch and play patt-a cake with Elem. haha. It was way worth it!
hen on Saturday we spent the morning putting Elem's new car seat in, and then headed onto Searcy for Thanksgiving with my side of the family. My parents live in memphis still, but its still a little too far of a drive for us from Little Rock. Elem is a good traveler, but 2 1/2 hours there and then back is a long day in the car and just wares us soo out! Luckily, my aunt and cousins live in searcy, which is just about 45 min to an hour away. So we met up with everybody there for some more good food and lots of lovin on Elem.
I was sooo excited cause I hadnt even seen my mom since the Race for the Cure, my dad like a month before that, and I hadnt seen my sis since geez I cant even remember when. These days she is 5 1/2 months pregnant, and looks adorable! Here we are chillin on the couch with elem! She was so happy to see him. I think she has that baby fever!
And then here we are lookin at the ultrasound of her little boy! She got some really good ones! And I hadnt looked at any ultrasound pics since Elem. It definitly brings back memories of where I was this time last year! Unbelievable to think it has all gone by so fast!
Seth and my sis' hubby, Vincent -right after a big plate of food! Her man is super cool and so sweet, and he just graduated from med school yesterday! Congrats Vincent. And if I have another baby any time soon, I would prefer that you do my epidural this time seeing as I didnt have a great experience last time. And also Its expensive! :) haha. No for real, I love them both so much!
Elem and Seth just being cute.
Although the rest of my family who doesnt normally get to see Elem kinda hogged him I think, I do have proof that my parents did get to touch him! haha!
He did really good all day here too. He was great for the first couple of hours, then he got sleepy and just couldnt get his nap out and ended up being a liittle more clingy from then on. After we stuffed our faces for the second time, we headed back to the rock, and just chilled for the rest of the weekend!
The holiday was great and has gotten me so in the mood for christmas coming up! I love spending time with both families, and love watching everyone play and hold Elem! He is definitly loved to say the least!Gotta feed the baby
